I was recently writing some graphics software for my SCO 386 2.2.3
and ran into a `bug' in ioctl(). The sequence:
fd = open("/dev/mono", O_RDWR);
ioctl(fd, MCAMODE, (char *)0);
anthing
leaves the screen screwed up. Text is displayed, but end-of-line processing
is perminently damaged. Only a reboot seems to fix it.
The same thing happens when I type `stty MCAMODE </dev/mono' (actually
the `</dev/mono' may be optional - memory fails).
Anybody else have this problem? Is it a known (and fixed) bug?
Equipment:
Mylex Mother
Brand X Herc clone
SCO Xenix 386 2.2.3
more stuff.
(p.s. I have seen this also on a Brand Y Herc clone)
